Healthy eating ... we hear this phrase so often. What do we need to do to eat right and why do we need it?
Satisfying hunger is one of the most important instincts of the body, necessary for maintaining life. Firstly, all the cells and tissues of our body are formed from the food we eat. Secondly, food is a source of energy necessary for the functioning of the body.
Consequently, our health depends on what we eat, in what quantity, when and how.
What is proper and healthy nutrition?
Proper nutrition presupposes that many nutrients - proteins, carbohydrates, fats, water, minerals and vitamins - should be supplied to the body regularly, in the required quantities and in optimal proportions. A deficiency or excess of certain nutrients causes first temporary inconvenience and then the risk of developing various diseases.
Healthy nutrition makes it possible to stabilize weight without forced restrictions, helps get rid of diseases and prevent their development, and helps restore intellectual and physical energy. Healthy eating is an important component of a healthy lifestyle.
To eat right, you need not only desire, but also knowledge.
The ABCs of healthy eating or 20 facts about what and how to eat
1. Food is needed for life . Any food is not just a pleasure or a ritual. Any food eaten supplies the body with energy and substances to maintain health.
2. Eat well . The ratio of proteins, fats and carbohydrates per day should be approximately 1:1:4. You can remember the correct proportions using a simple technique: imagine a plate divided into three equal parts. Two of them are occupied by carbohydrates, and the third is equally divided between proteins and fats.
3. Diversify your diet . The same foods on the table are boring and fraught with a lack of important nutritional components.
You can get the necessary set of vitamins, microelements and minerals only from a long list of products, most of which are quite affordable: vegetables, fruits, meat, fish, nuts, dairy products, legumes, bread, durum wheat pasta, berries and herbs.
4. Eat more often. Paradoxically, in order not to gain weight, you need to eat more often. Have a hearty breakfast, a normal lunch and a modest dinner, in between, have a fruit snack, and before bed, a fermented milk drink. This way you will not feel hungry and will be able to control the quality and quantity of food you eat.
5. Carbohydrates are vital. This is the main source of energy, since the body uses glucose for its needs.
Carbohydrates are easily digested and quickly enter the bloodstream. With a lack of carbohydrates, the body begins to draw energy from the proteins contained in the muscles, thereby depriving the body of building material for vital hormones and antibodies.
6. Carbohydrates are simple and slow. In the understanding of the average person, carbohydrate food is something sweet. But foods containing too much sugar are a way of providing the body with energy, which ultimately lasts very little, and the feeling of hunger quickly arises. Therefore, it is better to eat complex or, as they are also called, slow carbohydrates that will be absorbed gradually: vegetables, fruits, whole grain products, pasta from durum wheat and cereals.
7. Less sugar. Excess sugar in the diet is another cause of excess weight. Read labels carefully.
Added sugar goes by other names: sucrose, maltose, corn syrup, molasses, cane sugar, corn sugar, raw sugar, honey, fruit concentrate.
Avoid refined sugar and sweet drinks. One glass of sweet soda contains up to 8 teaspoons and 130 kcal.
Control the sugar content in “healthy” foods. Muesli, cereal, breakfast cereals and low-fat yogurt with fruit contain sugar. It is also added to products for children.
8. Eat more whole grains. They contain complex carbohydrates that are digested slowly and reduce cravings for sweets.
Include unpolished grains, bran bread, and wholemeal bread in your diet. They all contain a lot of fiber and therefore help reduce hunger and protect the body from cardiovascular diseases. Whole grain products contain fewer calories, but contain vitamins B, E, calcium, potassium, zinc, copper and other beneficial substances.
9. Proteins should always be present. Proteins form the cells of the body, in particular muscle tissue. Hormones and antibodies are also proteins. If there is not enough protein in food, immunity decreases, hormonal balance and restoration of body tissues are disrupted.
10. Fats cannot be completely eliminated. The sheaths of nerve fibers are made up of fats, they are part of the structure of the cell wall, and are also necessary for cell division and the synthesis of important hormones. Lack of fat leads to a deficiency of the vitamins it contains and disruption of the nervous and hormonal systems.
Please note that among the fats consumed, animals should make up only a quarter, the rest should be vegetable.
11. Fats should be limited. Excess fat is not only stored by the body in reserve and forms excess weight, but also disrupts the functioning of the liver and pancreas.
Fat can be found even in foods that appear to be low-fat. For example, “Doctor’s” sausage may contain about 30 percent fat. There is fat in chocolate and cookies, the latter containing an average of 20 percent fat. Animal and vegetable fats have the same calorie content.
12. Reducing fat in your diet is quite simple. Low-fat dairy products taste no worse than whole dairy products, and with their help the caloric content of the diet can be reduced by almost half.
Choose lean meats and poultry without skin. Bake meat on a wire rack or a special frying pan with grooves to drain fat. Avoid full-fat sour cream, mayonnaise and heavy cream. Choose foods with a low percentage of fat, replace fried foods with boiled or baked ones, and use non-stick cookware to reduce the amount of oil when cooking.
Remember that vegetable oils also contain fat, and limit yourself to a teaspoon of oil per person when dressing your salad.
13. At least 600 g of fruits and vegetables per day. Vegetables, fruits and berries contain vitamins that are not found in other foods. In addition to ascorbic acid - vitamin C - they contain carotenoids, folic acid and flavonoids, collectively called vitamin P.
It is better to eat vegetables and fruits raw or gently thermally processed - this way they retain more vitamins and nutrients. Regularly consume green and orange vegetables - they contain flavonoids - natural antioxidants that protect the body from aging.
14. Consume fish at least once a week. Fatty fish - mackerel, herring or salmon - contain a lot of essential Omega-3 fatty acids, which fight heart and vascular diseases. For a positive effect, it is better to eat at least three fish dishes per week.
15. Include dairy products in your diet . The daily intake of calcium can be obtained from half a liter of milk, and vitamin B2 from a glass. Fermented milk products are also suitable for those who cannot tolerate regular milk. They are as healthy as milk, they are easily digested and help maintain intestinal microflora.
Eat milk porridge. Milk and cereals complement each other well in composition and are easily digested together without creating additional stress on the digestive tract.
16. Teach children proper nutrition. Causes of excess weight in adults usually lie in the way they ate as children. Children are not capable of self-restraint, so sugar especially needs to be limited. Teach yourself and your children to eat fruit instead of baked goods and sweets, and reduce the consumption of sugary drinks.
17. Excess weight: excess nutrition or lack of exercise. Weight increases when the body receives more energy from food than it needs. If the body receives more energy than it can expend, this leads to weight gain.
In Russia, the cause of excess weight is most often an excess of animal fats in the diet. Such products include, for example, sausages, butter, hard cheeses, as well as fatty meats - pork and lamb.
18. Checking your weight is easy. You can find out if you are overweight by calculating your body mass index (BMI) using a special formula. BMI = body weight in kilograms/(height in meters x height in meters).
19. The number of calories depends on your lifestyle. The amount of energy your body needs depends on how active you are. If you sit in the office all day, you spend about 1600 kcal - this is very low activity. With daily fitness classes, up to 2500 kcal are spent per day - this is an average load.
Heavy physical labor takes 4000 or more kcal per day. Therefore, the caloric content of the diet must be selected by first determining how much energy you spend.
20. Healthy eating is simple and inexpensive . The healthiest cereals are the cheapest. In winter, it is better to buy frozen vegetables instead of expensive fresh ones, low-fat dairy products are cheaper than whole ones, and vegetable oils are cheaper than butter. And cooking at home is more profitable than regularly buying semi-finished products. Changing your eating habits will have a beneficial effect on your health, appearance and well-being.
Eat right for beauty and health
"Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food"
Hippocrates
The skin performs many important functions: acts as a barrier to microorganisms, toxins, ultraviolet radiation; prevents the loss of water and electrolytes and is an active organ of excretion, metabolism, sensation, and temperature regulation.
The skin functions normally only with adequate nutrition. For example, a deficiency of essential fatty acids increases the permeability of the epidermis (the top layer of skin), and therefore the loss of water through it. Any imbalance in nutrition in the form of nutritional deficiencies, lack of specific nutrients or excess can disturb the balance of the skin. The lack of certain vitamins, minerals and fatty acids has clear skin manifestations.
Although the frequency of classical hypovitaminosis is quite low, unbalanced and restrictive diets, diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, and the aging process affect skin health.
Correcting and maintaining a balanced diet will prevent skin and hair problems.
Below we will discuss some microelements and vitamins that affect the condition of our skin.
Vitamin A
Vitamin A is a group of dietary organic compounds. Vitamin A and its derivatives, such as retinoids and carotenoids, play an important role in regulating the division and differentiation of various cell types, including skin cells. Hypovitaminosis A leads to dry skin and mucous membranes, increased fragility and hair loss, and the appearance of hyperpigmentation. Follicular keratosis (excessive keratinization of the epidermis) is also a sign of vitamin A deficiency, as well as other substances, such as B vitamins, vitamins C and E. Carrots, pumpkin, and oranges are rich in carotenoids. Vitamin A from fatty fish, butter, milk.
Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin)
Skin manifestations associated with vitamin B12 deficiency include hyperpigmentation of the skin, angular stomatitis (formation of cracks in the corners of the mouth, also called seizures), thinning and hair loss. Often, vitamin B12 deficiency is caused by diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (atrophic gastritis, Crohn's disease and others) leading to impaired synthesis or absorption of B12 in the body. Deficiency can also be caused by a vegetarian diet without adequate vitamin support. Red meat, offal, eggs and milk are rich in cyancobalamin.
Vitamin PP (niacin)
A combined deficiency of niacin and the essential acid tryptophan leads to the development of pellagra (a type of vitamin deficiency), one of the manifestations of which is photodermatitis (when areas of the skin in contact with sunlight are affected). Beans, buckwheat, bran and tuna are rich in niacin. Meat, cheese and pine nuts contain tryptophan.
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid)
Vitamin C is extremely important for the synthesis of collagen and extracellular matrix. Vitamin C promotes the absorption of iron and also increases the bioavailability of selenium. Scurvy is a disease that develops due to a deficiency of vitamin C and is manifested by increased fragility of blood vessels, bleeding gums, and decreased immunity. Rose hips, parsley and broccoli are rich in ascorbic acid.
Zinc
Skin manifestations of zinc deficiency are weeping dermatitis (inflammation of the skin), which may be accompanied by a secondary infection, poor wound healing, excessively brittle hair, and alopecia (baldness). Wheat bran, legumes and nuts are rich in zinc.
Iron
Chronic iron deficiency leads to deformed nails, hair loss, glossitis (inflammation of the tongue) with loss of papillae, angular stomatitis and itching. Red meat, organ meats and spinach are rich in iron.
Definitely a complete and balanced diet will preserve youth and health not only of the skin, but also of the entire body.
